I used to go to Te Aro quite often. I love the coffee, teas, lattes, and sweet treats. They make a good apple brie toasted sandwich.
Only reason it gets 4 stars is due to the large number of babies/strollers. The neighborhood is changing so I guess this is the new mum hang out. It isn't a huge issue but I can't relax when there are babies screaming around me. Or strollers blocking most of the paths in the cafe.
I still go... but I haven't found the best time to go when the baby: adult ratio is low.
